    You need to post your Disk Management with the columns expanded so we can read all of the print. Use your Snipping Tool to do this. If you need instructions, read this tutorial. Screenshots and Files - Upload and Post in Seven Forums

    I'd start by starting system with only one drive installed. Make your cloned drive with boot.
